Removing grout that is adhered to a tile floor can be difficult. The type of tile greatly affects the difficulty of grout removal; also, if the grout was polymer modified, it may be more difficult to remove. In general, the more porous the surface, the better grout will adhere - conversely, grout is more easily removed from dense impervious tiles (e.g. porcelain). To remove the grout, start with an alkaline cleaner and a nylon scrub pad. See similar questions...

Floor tile adhesives (mastic) can be removed with chemical paint strippers or citric acid solvents (delemonene), which do not emit VOC fumes but are effective only on modern water-based adhesives. Mastic removers are sold in stores. We use our Lightning Strip paint & mastic remover, particularly for the old, thick, black mastic. Test it on a small area first. Avoid filling the pores in concrete with diluted mastic. Afterwards, wash the area to remove any residue. See similar questions...

Technically, anywhere there is a change in substrate or backing surface such as the joint between walks and floor and wall joint, caulk should be used in place of grout since these surfaces move independently of each other. However, it is important to recognize and make the end user aware of some important points. Even when the caulk exactly matches the grout color when installed, it may not match 6 months later (Caulk will "age" differently from the grout. See similar questions...
